Mobile learning: support in creating databases for eleventh grade students from Gimnasio Campestre San Rafael

Abstract

In the society in which we live, technological advances and the need to be in constant communication with information are inevitable. Applications and mobile devices to support education have become important tools: the content of this document focuses on research on learning supported by ICT tools, specifically, in the databases subject taught to eleventh grade students from Gimnasio Campestre San Rafael. This strategy aimed to design a learning scenario with which it is possible to reinforce topics seen in class and interact with students via the mobile device, make academic inquiries through websites, specific documents and video tutorials and interact with the teacher regardless of the place or access time. The study was carried out using a quantitative approach, based on pre-test and post-test data, with an experimental-type scope; defined by two contexts, an experimental group and a control group. The study is correlational in nature, since it allowed for the analysis of the relationship degree between the dependent variables and the independent variables. It is concluded that the use of apps is of great importance, since it is clear that, with the mobile application, students achieve an improvement in their academic performance and motivates them, which allows to reinforce the contents of the subject and promote communication between students and teachers. It should be noted that this research is relevant to implementing mobile learning to future research.
